Let’s Talk About My iPod: SPECIAL EDITION!
It’s a special edition of Let’s Talk About My iPod because we’re talking about a brand new iPod. I’ve moved out of the overcrowded slum that was the 80GB model and have moved the palatial digs of a 160GB mansion on the hill. Life is good.
What would possess a person to get a 160GB iPod? Quite frankly, I was beginning to run out of room and needed/wanted the space. Now, I’ve got it! I rule!
How do I plan to take advantage of the space? I’m glad you asked. For starters, I plan to continue buying music and at an obscene and ridiculous pace. I also plan to store and watch a little more video with this one than I did the last one.
What I’m most excited about where all this new-found space is concerned is the opportunity to go lossless. I can’t convert all 15,587 songs to Apple’s lossless format, but I can convert a few albums and I converted one last night and I’m listening to it now. Anyone want to guess which album?
Maybe I need to name this iPod Gus…ter…

Oh man . . . jealousy is setting in. I’ve got nearly 190gb of music, so the 160 makes perfect sense for me - I can live without the remaining 30gb on there. I’m just having a hard time finding a way to justify yet another Ipod after less than a year with the 80gb. Something about this one strikes me as the “be all end all” Ipod for me, however, at least for a good long time. That’s so big I honestly can’t imagine filling it up, at least as long as I put stuff on there I actually want to have with me all the time.
And my Ipod forever shall be known as HAL 9000. (You know, the click wheel kind of looks like HAL’s eye. If you’re a dork like me, that is.)
Do it, Tom. Join us. You’ll be a better person by at least 27%. I can’t believe how much happier I am and I’ve not yet had it for an entire day. Every time I feel the pangs of wishing I’d held out for silver, I think about how happy I am to have it now and how I’m already a better person for it.
OK, that was full of smarm and smug.
These new ones have some nice eye candy and more storage. What’s not to like? There, that’s better.
I’m a dork, just a different kind.
Seriously, I hate you. I’ll never be able to justify the need for 160 gigs to my wife, so I will forever suffer in jealousy of you.
Never mention this again. Never. I forbid it. I demand we all pretend you have nothing but a Nano and thus carry on with our lives.
call me when they come out with the terrabyte ipod.
How many iPods have you gone through now? It’s funny how our generation will probably remember our iPods like the men of the 60’s remembered their cars.
I got my 1st iPod in November 2002… I can’t believe that’s going to be 5 years ago. I still am on my 2nd today, which I got in July 2004.
I hope TWTWURM authorized this purchase.
I know she could not have authorized that name for it!
